+# Helm Chart for Metaflow services
+
+This chart deploys Metaflow Services in a Kubernetes cluster. Specifically, it includes:
+
+* a sub-chart for Metaflow Metadata service
+* a sub-chart for Metaflow UI, front end and back end
+* PostgreSQL to store Metadata
+
+PostgreSQL subchart is included to make it easier to deploy Metaflow for evaluation or development purposes. In production, we recommend to use a managed PostgreSQL offering such as AWS RDS and disable PostgreSQL sub-chart by setting `postgresql.enabled` to `false`.
+
+## Quickstart
